Description

Me and my dog Libby at the park. I saw the duck, took Libby over and made her sit and drop. Stepped back slowly with my camera and waited for her to notice. It is interesting to watch her fight between the learned behavior of sit and stay, and the instinctive behavior of retrieving ducks. The instinct eventually won out...lol.. :) No ducks were hurt during the making of this picture..lol.. I stop Libby and the duck swam off. See the slideshow below. Thank you for all your help and comments on my last upload. All comments are welcome. Y'all are a great bunch of folks. Todd

It's easy to see that the lovely Libby is alert and attentive in your shot, (ear position)! This is very nice.

A good photo, not so keen on the frame I think it's too heavy for the photo.

the frame does draw attention away from your capture.looks like she done tried to capture a duck and knows better now,unless it gets careless and ventures too near
